Did anyone regret getting an MBA?

I’ve been contemplating doing it since undergrad but never felt like it makes sense for me. I’m 27, getting promoted at work and have no plans of changing industries right now.

I’m just feeling a little FOMO seeing friends in MBA traveling the world, partying and making new friends. If I were to get an MBA it would only be for the experience and potentially the network (though I’m in Asia so I’m not sure how useful the network in the US would be).

People who have interviewed with google in the past but did not get an offer. Did google recruiters ever reach out to you afterwards? I’m in a situation where I already accepted an offer from another company and google came back saying I passed to the last interview round.

Got an offer today...

Applied for a mechanical engineering position. Salary range was 65-75k a year. When asked about salary during the first interview, I replied 70k is my number. Later I found out that since it's a small company no health benefits would be provided, but 10 PTO days are included. Had I known about the lack of health benefits and 401k match I would have increased my bottom.

The offer today was for 70k but now I'm not sure if I should try to negotiate for another 2-3k?
